We stayed for 3 nights. Very clean. Easy access for big rigs. Staff very helpful, will direct you to your site. Gated. Right in Okotoks so shopping was very accessible. Charged $2.00 a day for the little dog. Only about 30 minutes to Calgary. - a lessard

Nice little campground, city owned but run by the Lions. It was destroyed in 2013 floods, so it is nicely re-done. Pull throughs are large with plenty of width for slides and awnings. Utilities work well. When it rains it gets very soupy and muddy (they need more gravel). Also, no laundry here and the only place in town is a ripoff. So plan on doing laundry before or after. - sheltieRV

Quiet location on the Sheep River. Most sites seem to have permanent residents. Navigation into back-in sites and around campground is challenging due to trees and tight corners. Washrooms and showers have irregular hot water, lots in the men's but less so in the women's. Washrooms are generally clean, but the grout could use attention. There is no dedicated sani-dump, but you are directed to an unoccupied site where you are still charged $15 to dump and use the water for clean-up. - North_fork

Cons: The sites too close to one another; playground unsafe and in need of major repair; rules are set but not in practice as I saw many walking/driving with alcohol in hand; they charge for children; and the mini golf in need of major repair! Pros: The hosts helped when we needed a cord and hose. It was so bad that we went into Calgary Alberta during the day because our personal space felt invaded. I would not ever stay here again nor advise anyone to stay here either. I think the money they charge for children should go towards upgrading the playgrounds. - threeunderthreeSAHM

We just started the first leg of our trip from British Columbia to the Maritimes and this was our first night. We pulled into this campground at 7:20pm and the owner/manager stayed open as we called ahead. When we arrived we were somewhat taken aback by the quality of the campground. Our pull-through site was beside an older travel trailer that has been here for sometime. Thankfully, it was dry that day or otherwise the campground would have been a mud hole. I feel that the $50 nightly rate is gouging the RV traveller based on the accommodation available. I certainly would never stay here again, nor would I recommend this campground to anyone. Very disappointing!!! - Larry Hamblin

We've stayed at this campground several times over the last few years and always enjoyed it. The sites are clean and a reasonable size, not too difficult to access. Washrooms are a bit of a walk from some sites, but they're accessible and clean. Staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. The only issue we have is the wi-fi. It's Tengo, and I really think that having to pay up to $4.95 for a day of use is not necessary. Internet costs are static, once the network is set up, and could be easily maintained. But this is their decision. But each day our Tengo connection was over-ridden by a local network that is apparently no longer even functioning, so we had to reconnect each time we turned the lap-top on. Annoying, but even worse was times when we had no internet access for several hours at a stretch, and no recourse for repair/support without making a phone call ourselves. And then we received our credit card statement - and we were charged US exchange! That just is not acceptable. None of the internet issues is the responsibility of the campground, but we've reduced our rating from 10 because of this. If they had their own internet, with local support and even charged an extra dollar or two a day for campers to have the privilege of using it would make much more sense to us. - Peg.Garry

A very clean well taken care of RV park. We stayed here for 4 nights with 2 young children and it was a great place. Everything was very clean and the playground and pool were well taken care of. There are lots of rules and the security is tight and that was something we loved because we aren't party animals. - Pumacamper

If you plan on staying in this park and want Wi-Fi, make sure you get an off-site solution. The system here is very inconsistent and spotty. Also, cell-based systems for Wi-Fi don't work well here as the cell towers are not close. - RV Dog

Ehhh - nothing special. The managers would be happier running a combine than dealing with the public. It was okay, but I can't think of anything to especially recommend it. It's a black clay mudhole in the rain. Okay for a night if you're passing through, but I wouldn't stay there again. - Sonic

Liked this place. It seemed alright, clean and fresh - nothing to shout about - but its flat, and minimum trees- I guess it's typical Alberta, going to BC next so should find a more tree like environment. Above all clean stay - but only a overnighter. Shopping was close, but couldnt get Gas. - Tracey M Issio

Staff was excellent and very helpful the problem was the site we ended up in and the size of it. Your picnic table which was tiny was right next to your neighbour's sewer pipe. The site we were in was so close to the neighbours we could not have a fire, rings were not allowed in that particular area. The view from our site was a parking lot and shed that the staff had lawn equipment in. Not pretty......The grounds were just OK. The location was fine because we were going to the stampede and they did offer a shuttle for 10.00 per person to the stampede but left at 11am and did not come back until 6ish.....we decided to drive down and pay for parking. - Hummertraveler

The staff here are lovely, friendly, helpful people. We had a bit of a hiccup with one of our slides and they did all they could to help us out. They accommodated our need to stay an extra day even though they were busy. We've stayed here before, a couple of years ago. I will say, the park has declined some, which was disappointing. It used to look a lot neater, but this time we found deep ruts in mud in some of the sites (which could be a problem if it continues raining!). For us, the nice young lady at the desk didn't seem to understand that we're a 40' motorhome with 3 slides. She put us in a narrow site (trees on both sides) and I had to run back to the office to request a change. No way could we fit into the one she'd assigned us, and yet we'd told her in advance what our unit was and it's size. There are quite a number of what appear to be long-term trailers in the park - not all of which are maintained. This park has a LOT of potential. We'll stay again, but only if it doesn't decline any further than it already has. I'm hoping they do a little maintenance! We had power, water, sewer. No pull-throughs that we could see. Sites are adequate, but not overly spacious. The location is great - easy access to Calgary or Strathmore. Laundry and restrooms available, although I've never used either. - Kelly S

The only thing this campground has going for it is its convenience to Calgary. We stayed here during the Oil Show and though we knew it was not a wilderness campground we were stunned to see how they pile units in. We could not walk behind our trailer as the unit behind ours was no less than 12 inches from our back bumper. Fire pits are at the front of lot right along side of road. No privacy at all. Sewer hookups are set up so that you have to run your hose into your neighbour's lot to hook up. It is also a major flight path for the airport and and is on a main highway, so quiet it is not. Would stay here again only if it was were last resort. - Roadweary

Good location for us on the west side. Site was level, clean and plenty long enough for big rigs. The park design is to share hookups from a common location so that you have one rig facing east and one rig facing west which means not a lot of distance between the two. Other than that, no problems. I would most likely stay here again if going through Calgary again. - Farmer Tex

The parking pads were level, but there was no level area for the table. We had water restrictions when we arrived and had to boil our water. Otherwise it was convenient to the train stations for attending the Calgary Stampede. We would stay there again. - Tschachers

Restrooms were acceptable but would not call them clean. Park was crowded and needed more frequent attention. Trash around the building never picked up during our 3-day stay. Crowded park, sites very close together. Road and train noise was loud. Can't imagine anyone not hearing it throughout the night. We stayed without reservation during Stampede and paid for our lack of planning. Would not return. Overpriced for a site with no services, even during Stampede week. - revs2010

This is a no frills park. The sites are hodge podge of services. Some have full service (30 amp only), others only have water/electric and some are dry camping. We stayed in the pull-through section and the site was not long enough to handle our 40 foot fifth wheel and truck. The truck had to be parked sideways and hang over into the roadway. The biggest issue with this park is how they laid out the connections. The water and electric are shared with two spaces. So one space has to have a lot of hose and cord and it has to go under or around their rig to get to the connection. Each has a sewer connection in the back on the side you need it, but it is at the back of the space and, for us, was going uphill. Roads are dirt/gravel as are the spaces. They are fairly close together with grass in between. With all the land they have they could have done a much better job with spacing and layout of connections. It worked well for our visit during the Stampede, especially since they have a shuttle ($10) directly to the park. You are bit away from the city. The Calaway Amusement park is part of the property so I assume the park is mainly occupied during the Stampede and on weekends during the summer for those going to the amusement park. Otherwise not much reason to stay here. - mcharland

We stayed here 3 years ago & it was bad then. But I always believe in 2nd chances! So we made the mistake of staying again. First problem - we located our site & it had garbage strewn through it. So we moved several sites up & told the girl at the office. I also took photos of the garbage throughout the park, the unmowed lawn, the dirt. The girl at the office told me she'd heard it all before from campers & had told management. Apparently they opted to ignore the issues!

Further problems - hookups are awkward & impossible to connect to. We had to back our 44' motorhome up, connect to sewer, dump, disconnect, & pull forward in order to connect to water & power. I also took photos of the ridiculous & nearly-impossible connections! Every other RV park we've ever stayed in (& we have spent almost 2 years solid on the road now) has the hookups conveniently located at the side. This park has the sewer at the rear of the RV, water at the far left, power on the other side.

That was their 2nd chance. I'll tell anyone who'll listen to NEVER set foot in this park! It's filthy, unkempt, disorganized & overpriced. - Kelly S

We usually stay at Calaway campground when we travel through Calgary. It is clean and easy to access off of hwy 1. Staff is friendly and helpful. Check in isn't until 1 pm, so if you're wanting to go to Calaway park, you have to park in the parking lot and wait till then. We had reserved a site, so it wasn't really an issue. We weren't allowed early check in (we tried). Biggest downfalls are a) showers are not included with the camping fees. They are 2.00 for 5 mins and b) there is no playground or activities for children. A play area would be a good addition. That is the reason for the 8 rating, otherwise it would be higher. Good camping overall. - Jenni_867

BE AWARE-DO NOT STAY HERE unless you want to camp in a trailer park. We did not end up staying the night. We had reservations, and pulled up. The guy didn't even know which sites he had available, they were super small and would have been difficult to level (muddy). There were a tons of old trailers that were rusted out with garbage around sites. The facilities were NOT clean and there is no way with kids I would have stayed there. Totally misrepresented on their website. Its in the middle of Calgary suburban sprawl with a ton of construction and not easy access. Sites were not maintained, not mowed, and more of a storage area feel than a campground. - pinkarmygal05

What a dump. Half full of itinerant construction workers. Park management has recently blown out the sewer system. You heard it: blown out. Toilet tissue was hanging from the trees. Great western bar on site helped to escape from reality, but never again. - Britcanuck

This is an old park with barely adequate facilities. Grass sites are fairly level but mostly small and crowded. Electric was only 15 amp, water was not available at many sites (though recently turned on for the season) and hot water was not available in all shower stalls (no flow from hot faucet). Use of the dump station required an extra fee. Restrooms/showers were very worn and not clean. Wi-Fi connections were difficult to establish but surprisingly fast and reliable if possible to achieve. The Passport America discount brings cost down to almost match value. New ownership seems to have muddled the care put into the operation. We would not stay here again. - never settled

We stayed two nights at this campground and while a great location for seeing Calgary, the campground needs a lot of maintenance. The sites are grassy, but not level. The recent rains left the ground soft and the ruts were large enough to stymie even my Hummer. The Wi-Fi does not reach the sites. It stops at the manager's house. The roads are rutted badly and the long term campers have collected enough junk to make this truly look like an old trailer park. - User3432

We arrived Thursday evening, at about 7.00 p.m. towards end of October and only stayed because we had to be at the dealership next door the next morning. Nobody at the office but phone # provided, so I called. Choose something in the 70's or 90's was the answer and the water is shut off, see you in the morning. The sites are sloping so you have to bring up the front of your RV quite a bit. Left right is o.k. Most sites are on dirt with some grass between sites. Hookups are dated. I only used power. Washrooms are there but you don't want to go there! Wi-Fi only worked around office and in laundry with password provided over the phone. At daytime this place really scares you and everything your mother warned you about is here. At night time, you only see half of it. I have been to all RV sites in and around Calgary, but this one is the worst. I will not return. - CamperAndy

The rate shown (Cnd $) is the daily rate for a FHU with 30-amp power. The camp hosts were very friendly and helpful. We talked to them for some time and were given good information about the park. The reception also doubles as a small convenience store for those forgotten items. On our arrival we were told that water has yet to be switched on at each site. Something we hadn't planned for and hadn't sanitized the potable water tank for. Thankfully, we had a supply of bottled water to drink. Being only the two of us and the fact it was only a two night stay this wasn't a problem. Because we hadn't been advised of the water situation we did receive a discount on our stay. There are a mixture of un-serviced, 30 amp FHU and 50 amp FHU sites. There is no cable but I saw several rigs with satellite dishes. There may be OTA channels but I couldn't find any. Power remained steady with no fluctuations. Each site has a metal fire ring and a picnic table. The sites aren't particularly level but using a pile of orange blocks we could get the RV auto level to flatten us out. Our site (#60) was long enough to have our truck and 41' 5th wheel unhooked and contained within the site footprint. The sewer drop is about 12" above grade but in a good position. The sites and roads are a mix of crushed gravel and dirt with some young willows and conifer tress that will provide privacy when they come in to leaf shortly. Many sites are pull through but back-ins are available. The washrooms are tidy and neatly tiled. Showers are $2 (Cnd) for five minutes. The laundry (two washers and two dryers) was, I thought, expensive at $4 for a wash and $2 for the dryer. We didn't use this but took a peek. There is a children's play area but it looks a little dated and was certainly un-even. Rogers cell gave me three to four bars of 3G service and was enough to give me a personal hot spot. There is currently no Wi-Fi. This park is Ok but I'm not sure we'll be coming back anytime soon. - Hutch333id

As the previous reviewer noted this is a nice park, its primary drawback being the dirt roads and relatively unlevel sites. A few loads of gravel would do wonders. We managed to use our MH's levelers to get level but it maxed them out. On the other hand, our site was huge and private. The trees and plantings are attractive but don't hinder satellite access. The park's WiFi is awful (they say it became worse after the recent floods) but there is a strong cellular signal and we used that for internet access. The workamper hosts were very friendly and helpful. - docj

This is a fairly new RV campground located in rural southern Alberta approximately 35 minutes east of Okotoks. Located just off highway 24 there is some light traffic noise but nothing disturbing. The older sites with the more mature trees are closer to the highway and therefore subject to more of the traffic. However, I did notice that being in the prairies, where the land is pretty flat, you can hear vehicles coming and then going for an awful lot longer! The gravel sites are sufficiently long enough to handle most big rigs with ease. Our site was equipped with 30 amp power supply, water, and sewer. The sewer was somewhat odd in that the top of the pipe was about 12" above ground level. Many of the sites, including mine, wasn't level from either front to back or left to right. Also on each site was a fire ring with grate and a new looking picnic table with bench seats. In the newer area the sites were separated by shrubs and bushes that provided some degree of privacy. Colour was provided by the abundance of dandelions growing uncontrolled everywhere. The roads around the site are simply dirt tracks, and as we arrived during a torrential downpour, there were some deep pools of muddy water. This also meant that it would be likely to track dirt easily into the trailer. The washrooms were very clean and tidy, but the showers are pay -as-you-go. $1(cnd) for about 2 minutes. Unfortunately, adding two loonies simultaneously doesn't give you double the time. Only one coin per operation! The lady in the office was very pleasant and helpful as was the other staff member I chatted to. Firewood is available from the office as are several other last minute supplies. Around the campground are several old, restored railroad carriages and trains. There is also a nearby restaurant in one of these. Wi-fi is free but weak even close to the office. After signing in to the wi-fi you get 30 minutes before being dropped, after which you can get back in again any number of times but only in the 30 minute blocks. In a few more years time, this campground has the potential to be a marvelous place once the roads are fixed up and the sites leveled a little more. - Hutch333id

Small campsites but they are set up perfectly with bushes between units. It is clean, efficient, and well operated. The rules are strictly enforced, the wifi worked fine, and the restrooms and showers were clean.

The park is okay but the spots are pretty close together. A hedge between each site does help. We had reservations and we were stuck between two permanent RVers (not the cleanest of spots) and the spot wasn't level. We complained and asked for a better spot away from the permanent residents. She was not happy and was very cold to us but did honor our request. The next spot we received was much better and level. Our spot was on the river but don't bother since you really can't see it. They allow fires and we had smoke and the smell coming into our RV throughout the time we were here. Overall the campground was quite nice and we would probably stay here again but would probably see what else there is around before we did. - Steve & Terri

It is unfortunate that we have to rate this the worst RV park we have ever stayed at - but it was. We are experienced campers and have stayed at many (100+) campgrounds in Canada and the US. You drive into this RV park - it is a culture shock to see the 'seasonal' RVs - a very poor impression - sites overcrowded with junk, homemade outdoor showers, etc. When we called for a reservation 1 1/2 months before we were to arrive in Strathmore it was 1st come 1st serve (reservations are now accepted) we got a site out in the back 40. The site was not level and full of holes; the sewer hook-up was a foot or more out of the ground - your hose came out of the RV - laid on the ground - when it reached the sewer hook-up it had to go upwards for a about a foot. You had to hold your sewer hose up off the ground when dumping. The sewer, water and electrical were all close together - it was not pleasant. There were 'many' sites empty due to several problems - either the electrical did not work or there was a problem with water, etc. The Wi-Fi was $20 for 4 days but it did not work - took some convincing on our part to get a refund; the water/pressure at our site was acceptable. The Manager was very nice but was overworked. Strathmore is a nice town - we lived there for 25 years - but we are totally embarrassed by this campground - it could be a gem! The sites at the entrance are nicely treed and a decent size - but taken over by seasonal rvs and they do what they want with their sites! We did get a 'rule' sheet but it is obvious the seasonal people do not abide by the rules nor are the rules enforced. There is a shortage of GOOD campgrounds in the Calgary/Strathmore area - if the Ag Society put some thought and hard work into this campground it would be great! We would not recommend this campground and we would stay at a truck stop rather than camp here again. - User3473

This was our very first RV trip and an excellent choice for us. The park had all we expected. Mini-Golf, clean hot pay showers and restrooms. The very close lake and beachfront was clean. The lots were level enough and large. Ample space and shady without blocking the sun entirely. Quiet but fun. The evening John Deer tractor ride was excellent fun for the kids who also loved the small petting zoo with Oreo and Minnie who are the resident goats. Lots to do for the three nights we spent. The staff was super friendly and excited to help with things we missed packing for our first outing. Excellent spot for our first trip. Nothing negative to mention at all. We will be back I am sure. - Rambler71

Great little campsite and very friendly. Hayrides, mini golf, and a petting zoo for the kids. You can even help feed the animals (though check for times). They have lambs, calves, chickens, ducks, and rabbits! The mini golf was good, store was well stocked. Sunsets over the lake are magnificent. Only downside was there are a lot of sites (especially the full hookups) which were taken up with more seasonal and long term campers so definitely try to make a reservation first. Everyone very friendly though. - moodygirl

It was a very clean, great looking park. All sites had a tree, fire pit, table, gravel and a grassey area. The sites were level and the utilities were easy to access. There was a highway running by the park, but traffic calmed dawn in the evening and did not disturb us. The staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed this park immensely. It is fenced and you need a gate key ($10.00 deposit), but felt secure and safe behind the fence. We stayed here in a 5th wheel. - Marilynintexas

50 and 30amp electric is available but not on the same pedestal. Breakers are at the top of the pedestal. Sewer is OK, opening for my site is about 5" above grade and concrete is so close around the sewer pipe you can't get your hose connected screwed in properly. The campground makes a big effort to let you know to use the tight connection. Can't do it with a RV sewer hose. The sewer is about 5 inches above the ground so a sewer hose support would be necessary. Water 40@ psi. Wi-Fi is terrible. Takes a long time to load a website and then while you are doing what you want to do it disconnects you. When it works it is fairly good, but if you pause you will loose your access. It was free with a weeks stay. There is no cable. The over the air has 6 channels that are clear. Sites are large gravel. Grass on each side and wooden rail fence between sites. The wooden rail extends to the ends of the camp site and can present a problem getting in and out for large rigs. Water and Sewer is in a concrete area. Sites have plenty of room between them so awnings and slides are no problem. The interior road between sites is also large gravel and have large potholes. You have to go slow so you won't bounce your rig a lot. One thing that I found is that DirecTV is possible here. I stayed a week so there was no discounts. Payment with an American credit card is no problem. Additional Charges are for a gate card. The campground has an electric gate that is locked at all times. Deposit is returned when leaving the campground. Nightly rate is for a week in US currency. I would stay here again when in the area. - TXBobcat

We stayed here for a month and found this to be an overall nice clean campground with all the sight seeing close by. The unfortunate thing was we were not told that there was going to be construction right in front of our campsite. The heavy equipment started at 8:00 pm every morning and even on weekends, so if you are looking for peace and quite, this is not for you unless you stay away from the construction area. The park is very clean and has a gas station, liquor store, and a well stocked grocery/restaurant. Excellent value for your dollar. The owners are very friendly and helpful. - mrignitor

The $30/day rate is based on weekly rate of $210. A nice place which is pretty new. It is in the middle of an 18 hole golf course that is very popular in this remote farmland area. A lot of golfers from Calgary come out to play here. The owners are very nice and helpful. You must walk or drive down to the clubhouse to use the Wi-Fi. Once there it is very strong. All back in sites. - chockwald

This is the "overflow" campground for Bow Valley Provincial Park. No reservations are accepted. We stayed for one week, including a holiday weekend when the campground was full, often with two units in a site. There were two pay ($2 token/5 min) showers for Men, 2 for Women. Only one day did both showers work in the ladies'; a couple days on one worked in the men's room, and one day neither one worked. In addition, there was one toilet out of order the whole time in the ladies' room. The rest rooms appeared to be only really cleaned when a complaint was made - otherwise the guy kind of wiped the sinks and added tissue - not much more - he didn't even refill the hand sanitizer by the door, and there was no soap or towels. There was no employee on site, so I reported these issues every other day when I went to the store/office at Bow Valley to get tokens. There I was told there was a "Host" at Willowrock, but could never figure out who it was. If this is a typical Alberta Provincial Park Campground, I am sorry for the local folks; $25/night is a lot to pay for no services. - mn travellers

This is a great park if you accept the fact that you are up in the high country and you cannot have city amenities . It was very peaceful when we were there and the weather cooperated to the extent that it didn't snow. The facilities were well looked after and the staff did their best to accommodate you. Maintenance people did look after your concerns and addresses problems ( like the guy using eves trough for his sewer drain - yuck!!) immediately when they were brought to their attention. We would return and recommend this park to our friends. - Bingorn

Park is very peaceful and neatly kept. Our back-in site was large and very treed. Full serviced, 30 amps but the Wi-Fi only works in the Camping Center. No satellite reception due to the trees, and we did not try the cable TV. Staff was attentive and promptly took care of any of our needs. Easily accessible to hiking trails and the river. Very quiet and serene. - KimberlyM

Great weekend / campground was clean / very well treed / restrooms clean / lots size very large / WI-FI very, very poor, only received weak signal at campers centre / cable vision ok, but limited channels. The biggest disappointment were the hot tubs. They are not is working order, so are closed. I was told campground was lease from the government of Alberta and they do not want to fix the problem, neither does the lessee. Well someone has to get their act together and repair the hot tubs. Overall 7 out of 10 due hot tub closure. Could be a 10 and one of the nicest campground in western Canada, a gem. - wpbincrossx
